My Project

My Kindergarten students are special in their own unique way. They are very creative in terms of drawings and coloring. Exploring their limitless ideas and concepts has a big impact on their daily lives at school.

Reading storybooks makes them more eager to learn every day.

Sharing real-life experiences with friends and teachers will be more enjoyable each day.

We don’t have enough materials in the classroom. These resources will be a great help to my students as they will no longer grabbing these materials from each other.

Making their learnings into reality using their creative hands and minds can build their self-confidence.

Grades PreK-2
